Bertucci's Christiana

Bertucci's is a renowned American restaurant chain specializing in Italian cuisine, particularly known for its brick oven pizzas and authentic pasta dishes. Established in 1981 by Italian-born restaurateur Joseph Crugnale in Somerville, Massachusetts, the first Bertucci's location featured a unique touch—a bocce court in the basement, reflecting the founder's Italian heritage.

Over the years, Bertucci's has expanded its presence, primarily in the Northeastern United States, offering a diverse menu that includes Tuscan-style dishes such as pasta, chicken, seafood, appetizers, and desserts.

A standout feature of their menu is the variety of premium brick oven pizzas, available with numerous topping combinations. The company emphasizes a family-friendly dining experience, aiming to provide a gathering place for friends and families to enjoy meals together.

New Restaurant Concept

In recent years, Bertucci's has introduced a new restaurant concept called Bertucci's Pronto, a fast-casual dining format. The first Bertucci's Pronto location opened on April 22, 2025, at 22 Tremont Street in Boston, Massachusetts.

This initiative reflects the company's adaptability and commitment to evolving with dining trends.
